Built in 1938 (88 years old).
Condition: This five-unit compound, built in 1938, presents inconsistent conditions across its units. While Unit #57 features a recently updated kitchen with modern appliances, wide-plank oak floors, and a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower, other units (e.g., #55, #61) show significant signs of age. Their kitchens have dated cabinets, older appliances, and less modern finishes (e.g., wood paneling, checkerboard linoleum), and bathrooms are functional but not updated. The property's overall condition is aged but maintained, with major components functional, but many units would require minor to moderate updates and renovations to meet current quality standards, aligning with a 'Fair' rating.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Built in 1938, the multiple structures may require significant ongoing maintenance, system updates (e.g., plumbing, electrical), or capital expenditures across all five units due to their age.
Complex Property Management: Managing a five-unit compound with varied layouts and potentially diverse tenant needs can be substantially more demanding and time-consuming than a typical rental property, possibly requiring professional management.
Inconsistent Unit Conditions: While one unit is noted as updated, the description implies varying levels of renovation and 'classic period detail' across the other units, which may necessitate staggered investments to standardize or modernize all properties.
